about

'Sitting Ducks' a song about time slipping by, feeling stifled, and feeling unable to get on path despite always trying...

lyrics

sitting ducks, cups gone cold

the rainfall ends, no pot of gold
who knows where I'm meant to be?
a boat at sea, sways willingly

a patient instability

I can't find peace with the flow

there is so much that I'm yet to show

but I'm wrapped in my casing
no I'm not even chasing

all the things that I could be
I'm so wrapped up with wasting
why am I still here waiting?
what more is there to do
while I'm stuck in my cocoon?

teething pains, Achilles heel
the baby cries, an even keel
sometimes it hurts just to grow
folded wings, the bee stings

wasted dreams, they're all just things
here's grace in just letting it go

but I'm unwilling with all that I know

but I'm wrapped in my casing
no I'm not even chasing

all the things that I could be
I'm so wrapped up with wasting
why am I still here waiting?
what more is there to do
while I'm stuck in my cocoon?

with all of the pain

I've tried to stay sane

but the time has a way

of turning decay

into sand and grain

rubble and stains

and it slips through my fingers
again and again
with all of the pain

I've tried to stay sane

but the time has a way

of turning decay

into sand and grain

rubble and stains

and it slips through my fingers
again and again

a heavy stone, a solid throne
to know the top, you go alone
chasing Olympian goals

but life's the alchemical gold
